Question About Texture Families, Onos Specific

<div class="IPBDescription">Cause I can't look into the code....</div> I sent this mail to Flayra some days ago and even he didn't know and told me to ask here. As I'm lazy I won't rewrite the text, but it should be clear to understand.

Well, the thing is that the Game as to be TOLD in the coding to pick between different skin groups. Even If you have 3 available, It will only use the first one since It hasnt been told to randomly pick one. So, Sorry But I dont think theres anyway to have it use 3 different ones without going to the code and changing it, or at the least writing a script for it.

Thx Brig, that's what I'd wanted to know.

Funnily enough thats why (afaik) the aliens models all have one skin each - they're only coded to have one, unlike the marines (identical marines would get real boring real fast).
